8 Facts Everyone Should Know About Ransomware WannaCry !

What is Ransomware WannaCry ?

Ransomware is a type of malicious software that carries out the cryptoviral extortion attack from cryptovirology that blocks access to data until a ransom is paid and displays a message requesting payment to unlock it. In simpler words, it same as kidnapping your system by locking its files and asking you to pay a sum of amount to unlock it. While Ransomware WannaCry is another version of it.

Why this has got attention recently ?

WannaCry (or WannaCrypt, WanaCrypt0r 2.0,Wanna Decryptor) is a ransomware program targeting the Microsoft Windows operating system. On Friday, 12 May 2017, a large cyber-attack was launched using it, infecting more than 230,000 computers in 150 countries, demanding ransom payments in the cryptocurrency Bitcoin in 28 languages. The attack has been described by Europol as unprecedented in scale.

Here are 8 most critical information about Ransomware WannaCry:

1. The file tasksche.exe checks for disk drives, as well as network shares and removable storage devices mapped to a letter, like ‘C:/’, ‘D:/’ etc. The malware then checks for files with a file extension as listed within the appendix and encrypts these using 2048-bit RSA encrypted code.
2. To crack 2048-bit RSA encrypted code,it would take 1.5 million years with the standard desktop machine at the time.
3. India is at 3rd position which is insanely attacked by this ransomware.
4. Affected Products:
   -All Windows versions before Windows 10 are vulnerable if not patched for MS17-010.
   -Windows XP and Windows Vista users are completely vulnerable as both these operating systems no longer receives updates and security patches.
5. The file types it looks for to encrypt are:.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx, .pst, .ost, .msg, .eml, .vsd, .vsdx, .txt, .csv, .rtf, .123, .wks, .wk1, .pdf, .dwg, .onetoc2, .snt, .jpeg, .jpg, .docb, .docm, .dot, .dotm, .dotx, .xlsm, .xlsb, .xlw, .xlt, .xlm, .xlc, .xltx, .xltm, .pptm, .pot, .pps, .ppsm, .ppsx, .ppam, .potx, .potm, .edb, .hwp, .602, .sxi, .sti, .sldx, .sldm, .sldm, .vdi, .vmdk, .vmx, .gpg, .aes, .ARC, .PAQ, .bz2, .tbk, .bak, .tar, .tgz, .gz, .7z, .rar, .zip, .backup, .iso, .vcd, .bmp, .png, .gif, .raw, .cgm, .tif, .tiff, .nef, .psd, .ai, .svg, .djvu, .m4u, .m3u, .mid, .wma, .flv, .3g2, .mkv, .3gp, .mp4, .mov, .avi, .asf, .mpeg, .vob, .mpg, .wmv, .fla, .swf, .wav, .mp3, .sh, .class, .jar, .java, .rb, .asp, .php, .jsp, .brd, .sch, .dch, .dip, .pl, .vb, .vbs, .ps1, .bat, .cmd, .js, .asm, .h, .pas, .cpp, .c, .cs, .suo, .sln, .ldf, .mdf, .ibd, .myi, .myd, .frm, .odb, .dbf, .db, .mdb
6. Backdoor: The worm loops through every RDP session on a system to run the ransomware as that user. It also installs the DOUBLEPULSAR backdoor.
7. Ransom: Between $300 to $600 in BitCoins.
8. A British computer researcher @MalwareTechBlog spent $10.69 on a successful plan to slow the global cyber attack that struck dozens of countries around the world and the domain was iuqerfsodp9ifjaposdfjhgosurijfaewrwergwea.comEven though it was stopped temporarily but the malware authors also have released WannaCry 2.0 version.

Kalonji and Onion juice prevented me to get BALD – See my results

Hair Fall

It is a common condition that can happen to anyone. It can affect any age groups. Some people are more than lucky enough that they didn’t experienced this condition but most of the people on earth are suffering from some sort of hair fall problems like dandruff, bald hair or alopecia.

Generally we loose about 100-150 strands of hairs daily which is a common bodily process as every hair goes through its life cycle then body discards the old hairs which are not capable to grasp the vitamins and minerals in body. Thats a completely normal case.

You should worry when you see the hairs on pillow in morning, in your hair combing brush, on your soap while taking bath and many other scenerios.

Men need to worry about hair fall

I am here concentrating the hair fall in men because women commonly lose their hairs during pregnancy and breastfeeding, after that they are most probably recovered within a few days not even months. On the other hand, men can face hair loss at any time ( we are delicate too  ) , once we start loosing our hairs it is much difficult to reverse the process.

Hair fall as an emerging business ?

Hair fall solution is now evolved as a massive business in cosmetics industries. Different companies likes Head & Shoulders, Pentene, TRESemme, L’Oriel and many more are competing with each others and bring their shampoos with Advanced formulations in market, every other day.

Every other day ? why ? are these companies experimenting with your scalps or they haven’t got the concrete solution to this condition ? In my opinion, the latter question suits more on them. Actually they don’t need the solution rather they are more interested in making huge money just by fooling us.

Shampoos which you see in TV ads have harmful chemicals which deteriorate you scalp and damages hair follicles.

In the end, the only solution remain is hair transplant which is hugely expensive treatment for permanent hair restoration.

Hair loss treatment for men

You might have come across many suggestions and advice from your friends and family to use this product, that shampoo etc. Take my advice here and I guarantee that you will again come here and share your experience of what I am going to tell a natural and non-harmful way to regrow hair.

You are needed to take only 2 things which are Kalonji and Onion.

What is Kalonji ?

Kalonji, often called black cumin, is an annual flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to south and southwest Asia. In Hindi, there are many names of Kalonji like kaala jeera, mangrel, Onion seed etc.

Kalonji seeds were used as medicine since over 2000 years. The seeds were mainly useful for severe headache, internal worms, toothache and nasal congestion. It was also seen to be effective in various other contagious and non contagious infections like conjunctivitis, abscesses and parasites. It is also used as a spice in food items.

Kalonji+Onion Juice method

• Take a handful of Kalonji seeds and make its powder in mixy, keep it in jar to store.
• Get a medium size onion, peel it off and chop it in small parts.
• You can use mixy to make paste of chopped onion.
• Take the paste of onion in a cotton cloth, squeeze and strain the juice in a small bowl.
• Mix the Kalonji powder and onion juice, apply directly onto the scalp.
• Leave it on scalp for about 1 hour , more is better, but some people get annoyed by the strong smell of onion, minimum 1 hr is must.
• After 1 hour, use a mild shampoo to rinse scalp and hair, do not use soap 
• Repeat this method for 3 times a week.
Use this method for at least 15 days to initiate hair restoration. Try it and do share your experience in the comments below or on our Facebook Page @MindBloggersClub.
